I have something close to that sorta, dual pent-3 600's 1gig of ram,
maxtor 40gb's etc...with promise ata66 controller, how did you get 8 ide's
on the master?
3 controllers and using the onboard chipset? what type of case/powersupply
are you using.
just a dumb question, are you talking about setting in the kernel for dma
or ? (where does hdbench come from, might as well see how slow my system
is running)
